Detailed Description

The CEZDecompressor class provides in-memory de-compression functions, including integrity checks of the compressed data. This version of the library supports only one compression / de-compression method (deflation / inflation). De-compression can be done in a single step (using DecompressL()) if the buffers are large enough (for example if an input file is mmap'ed), or can be done by repeated calls of the InflateL() function. The source data is de-compressed to the target buffer (both source and target contained within the buffer manager argument).

Note: In this version of the library a windowBits value of 8 is unsupported due to a problem with the window size being set to 256 bytes. Although a value of 8 will be accepted by the CEZCompressor constructors, as it is being changed internally by Zlib from 8 to 9, it will not be possible to use the same value for decompression. This is because the Zlib functions called by the CEZDecompressor constructors do not make the same change internally and as a result a KEZlibErrData is returned when calling InflateL(). It is therefore advised that for this version of the library windowBits of 9 is used in place of 8.

DecompressL ( TDes8 &, const TDesC8 & )

IMPORT_C voidDecompressL(TDes8 &aDestination,
const TDesC8 &aSource
)[static]

De-compresses the data in the given buffer

Parameters
aDestinationthe target buffer for the de-compressed data
aSourcethe buffer containing the compressed data
Leave Codes
KEZLibErrBufThere is a problem with the buffer
KEZLIbErrDataThere is a problem with the data
...Any of the system wide error codes

InflateL ( )

IMPORT_C TBoolInflateL()

De-compress the data to the buffer in stages, return value indicates if the de-compression has finalised or if further calls are necessary

Return Value
ETrue if the function must be called again, EFalse if compression is finalised
Leave Codes
KEZlibErrStreamThere is a problem with the stream
KEZlibErrBufThere is a problem with the buffer
KEZlibErrDataThere is a problem with the data
KEZlibErrUnexpectedUnexpected programming error
...Any of the System wide error codes

NewL ( MEZBufferManager &, TInt )

IMPORT_C CEZDecompressor *NewL(MEZBufferManager &aInit,
TIntaWindowBits = EMaxWBits
)[static]

Creates a new CEZDecompressor object

Parameters
aInitbuffer manager to handle both input and output buffers
aWindowBitsthe base two logarithm of the window size (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better compression at the expense of memory usage.
Return Value
the new CEZDecompressor object

NewL ( MEZBufferManager &, const TDesC8 &, TInt )

IMPORT_C CEZDecompressor *NewL(MEZBufferManager &aInit,
const TDesC8 &aDictionary,
TIntaWindowBits = EMaxWBits
)[static]

Overload of CEZDecompressor constructor takes aDictionary argument

Parameters
aInitbuffer manager to handle both input and output buffers
aDictionaryused to initialize the de-compression dictionary from the given byte sequence. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same dictionary.
aWindowBitsthe base two logarithm of the window size (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better compression at the expense of memory usage.
Return Value
the new CEZDecompressor object

NewLC ( MEZBufferManager &, TInt )

IMPORT_C CEZDecompressor *NewLC(MEZBufferManager &aInit,
TIntaWindowBits = EMaxWBits
)[static]

Creates a new CEZDecompressor object and leaves it on the CleanupStack

Parameters
aInitbuffer manager to handle both input and output buffers
aWindowBitsthe base two logarithm of the window size (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better compression at the expense of memory usage.
Return Value
the new CEZDecompressor object (on the CleanupStack)

NewLC ( MEZBufferManager &, const TDesC8 &, TInt )

IMPORT_C CEZDecompressor *NewLC(MEZBufferManager &aInit,
const TDesC8 &aDictionary,
TIntaWindowBits = EMaxWBits
)[static]

Overload of CEZDecompressor constructor takes aDictionary argument

Parameters
aInitbuffer manager to handle both input and output buffers
aDictionaryused to initialize the de-compression dictionary from the given byte sequence. The compressor and decompressor must use exactly the same dictionary.
aWindowBitsthe base two logarithm of the window size (the size of the history buffer). It should be in the range 8..15 for this version of the library. Larger values of this parameter result in better compression at the expense of memory usage.
Return Value
the new CEZDecompressor object (on the CleanupStack)

ResetL ( MEZBufferManager & )

IMPORT_C voidResetL(MEZBufferManager &aInit)

Resets the current de-compression operation, with the new buffer manager

Parameters
aInitnew buffer manager to handle the new input and output buffers
Leave Codes
KEZlibErrStreamThere is a problem with the stream
